One per person as well, which will put off those seeking pairs e.g. to go with a kid etc. On first look kinda sounds like just getting another membership might be better?

If i remember rightly, sir bobby finished 11th in his first season season which is a potentially nice paralell and sign of things to come!

Quickest way to get the guy to leave is stalking him in his back garden. Jesus.

First time seeing him live tonight not on tv. Jesus christ he is so good. His body positioning to receive hold on to the ball and subsequently get the space to pass is unreal.

Looking to get season ticket back after years of not having one. Echo the comments about stress and anxiety over it!

5 renewals presumably? Or do you mean adding tickets?? Rubbish news if true about no one else being able to get one.

The actual hey jude chant is decent. Been in some big crowds think it was millennium stadium (awful fa cup game) where thousands singing it was good. Absolutely no need for it to play on speakers. Rubbish teams need songs because every single fan hates the eye bleeding spectacle in front of them. We aren't rubbish anymore, so let the players actually hear what that sounds like.

The PA system needs to dial it back massively. Absolutely no chance of building an atmosphere pre match with fan chants or like you say to celebrate. We have a massive noisy enough crowd that is perfectly capable (speed aside) of singing the blaydon races or that hey jude one without it blaring at twenty million decibals over the pa system so loud that fans might as well not even speak.

Seeing the owners waving flags...do they put any money in? I'd assume the group would prefer fan independence?

Not a new thing, but given the enormity of this game the atmosphere at city becomes even more noticeably painful.

Has he started a game with Bruno yet, or would tonight be the first time?

The fact it is in the mail and craig hope didn't write it means that article is guaranteed lies.

Might have been said but i absolutely fucking love that 2 new signings scored against whingey Ralph

Really dislike the idea of working out some preferential treatment scheme. New era, put them on sale and be done with it.

Jonjo shelvey is starting games for us, which i think answers your question.

I wouldn't mind if it was an unwinnable game against man city, but this is one of the key remaining home fixtures. Not starting him is a mistake.

Is ryan fraser seriously seen by anyone as a better option than HBA?

The mental torture of the transfer window is made far easier by a quick scroll through the previous thread say circa 2018. Just read some posts about the club being so desperate that our best transfer attempt was a swap deal for our goalkeeper.

Has it been reported anywhere what PEA actually did to piss arteta off so much? Saw about the late back to training thing, but not much else.

Spunking our new found wealth on the likes of dembele is such a stupid waste of money. Would be very disappointed if any owners were daft enough to fall for his agent's crap.

Going into the window we needed that spirit and not a hammering, will do transfer negotiations with unsure players the world of good.

Looking at our bench thinking christ maybe covid hit us or something, then realising that no our squad is just absolutely awful.

This is an amazing thread to read back about 10-20 pages ago. Perfect example of bruce's ineptitude.

Just read gerrard's press conference comments. Christ i am so happy we have got howe and not him. Regardless of how well he does the patter is clearly going to be a pfm wankfest.

If Howe can form a relationship with asm then i'm confident he can coach him to be a much better player in terms of his positioning. It is very obvious that oppo teams deliberately foul him when he tries to transition and counter around the half way line, and that they fear doing so in the final third. I'd just have him switching wings throughout the game and to be the guy who receives the pass from transition and not other way round. Almiron bringing it out would be better, similar to what Jonas used to do. My only fear with ASM is that he doesn't like strict coaches, and i suspect thats what g jones has been doing. Up to Howe to see how he handles that aspect to get the best out of him mentally.
